A starting point...

The book of Harold Koda 'Extreme beauty: the body transformed' is so interesting that it gives me an initial idea to start the research for my final fashion project. 
In fashion history and across cultures, the physical ideal of beauty was achieved by some of the most extreme strategies. Parts of the female body was manipulated, contricted or extended therefore led to altering the body structure.

Although the concept of extreme beauty has been explored by many fashion designers before, I still want to tranlate my interpretation of the ideal beauty in my collection in a refreshing way.
